told the American people that it was the Russians that blew up Apollo 8.  I don’t think I need to explain what a serious predicament this puts us in, the people are scared and angry.  So what do we do?” 
    As Abaddon finished speaking he looked around the room, there were a lot of worried faces.
    “Well I think I speak for the American people when I say that an attack on Apollo 8 is an act of war, we cannot allow this aggression to pass.”  Marty stated.
    “But we don’t know if it was the Russians, we can’t just start a conflict on a hunch.”  Bobby stated.
    “I thought you said that it could only have been an act of sabotage?”  Marty said, looking to Abaddon.
    “There were not any technical faults with the rocket, nothing went wrong during the mission.  We had orbited the Moon multiple times before the explosion.  Obviously without being able to recover the wreckage, it is hard to say exactly what caused it.  But nothing went wrong on our end, it could only have been a controlled explosion.”  Wernher replied.
    “That does not mean it was caused by the Soviets.”  Teddy stated. 
    “I agree, it could have been someone inside NASA.”  Bobby argued.
    “I would say that is more likely, but they may have been working for the Russians.”  Hoover concurred.
    “No one within NASA would do such a thing.”  Abaddon shot back.
    “Precisely.”  Wernher stated.
    “So it must have been the Russians.”  McNamara argued.
    “Which means that we must retaliate.”  Marty concluded.
    “We can’t do anything until the President comes back.”  Abaddon warned.
    “Where the hell is he?”  Marty asked, almost shouting.
    “He is talking to his wife.”  Teddy replied defensively.
    “He’s the damned President.”  Marty shouted.
    “Let’s not turn this into a shouting match.”  Abaddon warned.
    “Do we know how the President is planning to deal with the Oswald situation?”  McNamara asked.
    “He asked me to take care of it.”  Abaddon replied.  He turned his attention towards Hoover and Bobby.  “So would you care to fill us in on what happened?”
    “Before I do I’d like to point out that if you hadn’t restricted my wire tapping this would never have happened.”  Hoover said, obviously irritated.
    “Are you for real?  You were using them to blackmail people, just like Oswald said you were.”
    “I only used them on legitimate threats to our country.”
    “Like Martin Luther King?”  Abaddon yelled.
    “I think it is important people know that he is a communist and that he has sex with any woman that will allow it.”
    The room was in stunned silence, Hoover had previously released information to the media regarding Martin Luther King’s affairs.
    “What is the truth about the Kennedy assassination?”  Abaddon asked.
    “The truth is what everyone already knows.”  Teddy barked, a little emotional about the way his dead brother was being discussed.
    “Well we all thought Oswald was dead?”  Abaddon continued.
    “I helped him get out of the country because he is an innocent man, it was the only way.”  Hoover replied.
    “Was he one of your agents?”
    “No, he was CIA.”
    “I must say I will be recommending that the CIA be re-established, this would not have been allowed to happen if they were still in existence.”  Abaddon stated.
    “You can’t be serious!”  Bobby interjected.
    “They killed my brother.”  Teddy protested. 
    “Do we know that as a fact?”  Abaddon replied.
    “Yes we do.”  Hoover responded.
    “Well regardless, do we know how Oswald got back into the country?”  Abaddon asked.
    “I believe I know.”  Hoover replied.
    “Please explain?”
    “Okay well in order to explain I have to go back to 1962, are you all familiar with the prisoners that escaped from Alcatraz?”
    Everyone nodded.
    “Well the escape was led by a man named Frank Morris, he was joined by two brothers, John and Clarence Anglin.  The official
